Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19853611C1] The cabinet has a frame of several connected frame profiles (7) and attached cover elements, whereby each frame profile has two sealing edges or surfaces (22,25) at a distance apart that can be pressed onto an associated covering element and that divide the outer surface of the frame profile (7) into a first area (28) facing inwards and a second area (29) facing outwards. The second area is fully closed wrt. the cabinet interior and encloses an attachment strip(s) (11,12) with a row of holes running between the sealing edges or surfaces, enabling the covering elements to be attached outside the cabinet interior without penetrating the wall of the frame profile.
